Vinícius Júnior has once again set social media ablaze after posting a series of affectionate photos with his girlfriend — accompanied by a cryptic caption: “Not everyone can keep their true love, especially when they become famous too soon.” The post, while seemingly romantic, has sparked a wave of speculation among fans and journalists alike.

Many believe the Real Madrid star was subtly throwing shade at Barcelona’s young prodigy, Lamine Yamal, who recently made headlines after being dumped and allegedly cheated on by his girlfriend, singer Nicki Nicole. The timing of Vinícius’s post — just days after Yamal’s breakup became public — has only fueled the gossip.

Adding more fire to the drama, Nicki Nicole was spotted getting close to popular streamer Mernuel, igniting rumors of a new romance. Football fans are now split: was Vinícius innocently celebrating love, or did the Brazilian just deliver one of the coldest “trolls” of the season?
